having commissioned a bass that took 15 months to build. Yes, I think he said he waited over a year for this one.

i've played polkas at a polish wedding What music can evoke! Even when your not expecting it. Watching “My Big Fat Greek Wedding” last week, funny funny movie, made me want to find one (a Greek orthodox wedding) to be able to join in the ‘circle’ dance. Listening to the (mandolins?) left you in a foot tapping party sort of mood. I think I’ll look up the CD soundtrack for that movie…. and not something I would have thought on my own to pick up prior to watching (and hearing) it.

If this guitar was staring into hell and survived I wonder if it felt the angels plucking at its strings.
It does appear as if it’s ‘marked’ in some way now. Even if only for the reason that it is the SOLE survivor from the Master Bedr. I was down at the house the day after, they lost everything else contained in that room, not one other single item is salvageable. I’m looking forward to hearing from the HO on the shops opinion of its condition. And have already elicited a promise to hear him play it, when things are back to normal next summer.
